Windows Phone 7 Marketplace Down For NoDo Users
UPDATE: According to this article, people are saying the Marketplace is back online. It was down for about 7 hours, and there hasn't been an official statement from Microsoft as to what caused the outage.
There are reports going around this morning that the Microsoft Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 devices is down, throwing an error that says "Can’t get this info right now. Check back in a little while." I didn't bring my WP7 device to work today, so I can't check it out on my Surround, but so far the reports are that it only seems to affect those that have NoDo (build 7390 or higher) and its been down for at least the past 4 hours. Its also been reported that its worldwide. Microsoft has only given the following statement, "We are investigating these reports and will provide an update when we have more to share."
For our WP7 users out there, are you experiencing this problem too? Please provide your build number and the phone you're using.

My App store works fine! Oh wait, I have an iPhone and their App store always works. But don’t worry my WP7 friends, Microsoft is always really quick to fix their mistakes.

@mindfrost82, Yeah, that dumbass was trying to use it during an ” unscheduled maintenance window.” It was his fault for not knowing better.

@rainfreak, the marketplace has been working fine since later that day. are you really that blind and oblivious and overtly faithful to your own brand that u can’t realize it has problems too and even insult others who point it out? tsk tsk tsk
it was just down for maintenance, Xbox live went down the next day for the same reason.
Sounds like someone is a little butthurt and decided to take them down. It is always going to happen across all marketplaces, and the dev’s will be quick to fix it. Come’on people…. software is not perfect and never will be.
